Sales of electric scooters in Riverton rose sharply last spring, exactly when the city launched a heavily advertised bike-lane expansion. Yet a survey of new scooter owners found that almost none of them had been aware of the bike-lane project at the time they made their purchase.
Which one of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy described above?
- A scooter manufacturer ran a large springtime discount promotion that happened to coincide with the city's bike-lane announcement.
- Most residents who already owned scooters before that spring were enthusiastic, vocal public supporters of the city's bike-lane expansion plan.
- The bike-lane expansion was completed several months later in the year than the city had originally promised to residents.
- Electric scooters are generally far more expensive to maintain and repair over time than the traditional bicycles they replace.
- Cities otherwise comparable to Riverton have reliably seen scooter sales rise whenever new bike-lane projects are publicized.
